In the previous century the ex Mrs LL and I had a 7 day cruise with Royal Caribbean aboard the Song of Norway, gross tonnage 23k so small by modern standards. A different Caribbean island every day where we did our own thing. Travel around on local buses, drink Red Stripe, smoke a little weed. Very enjoyable. As past of the cruise package you could buy 4 day slots at the St James Club on Antigua, so we spent 8 days there where I tried to become proficient at Cat sailing. Failed.
My only cruising since has been bareboat charters with qualified friends. Flamingo yacht charters out of Largs one October with a bunch of extrovert retired firemen springs to mind. I now prefer small gulet cruising with SCIC which suits me down to the ground. Very informal. No footwear. Access to snorkelling kit, kayaks, all meals on deck and lots of swimming. Multi national clientele for interesting conversation...preferably a max of 10 passengers so not proper cruising. And sleeping out on deck under the stars rather than in my cabin, diving overboard as the sun rose. B marvellous.
Must go again but not this year, unless they are operating by early September.
